Canterbury's Law @ 8pm
Julianna Margulies left *ER* in 2000, but now she's back in a regular TV role in R.I., as in Providence. Margulies plays attorney Elizabeth Canterbury, who, as the show's title suggests, has her own approach to justice, and frequently crosses all sorts of boundaries in her dogged pursuit of it. Her penchant for doing her own thing puts her at

Following the girls from their freshman through senior years, Liese captures the angst, challenges and more than a few startling transformations. The first installment of this eight-episode series features a popular girl who seems to have it all, and another girl who is much more hesitant about entering high school.

Unfortunately, there are still two obstacles to overcome, namely Jessi's mile-wide stubborn streak and the fact that Sarah demands that her identity remain a secret.
